Mark Millar moved his comic line over to Dark Horse Comics at the end of the last year, with a promise of new collected editions and new comics coming in 2024. Now, Dark Horse has revealed the first two Millarworld books to get their famed Library Edition treatement in Wanted & Big Game and The Ambassadors.
Millarworld books have been published by Image Comics for a long time, but last year Mark Millar announced he would be making the move to Dark Horse Comics, which brings his Millarworld work in line with other Netflix properties already being published by the company. He mentioned at the time there would be new premium editions of comics forthcoming but held details tight to the vest as Netflix and their public relations teams are the ones who make announcements for his properties.
The first books to be hitting shelves with Dark Horse Comics’ fan-favorite Library Edition treatment featuring oversized art in deluxe hardcovers were announced this week.
